Useful:

• Description: Pullulan is a linear homopolysaccharide of glucose, which is produced as a water-soluble, extracellular polysaccharide by certain strains of the polymorphic fungus Aureobasidium pullulans (De Bary) Arnaud. Pullulan has adhesive properties and can be used to form fibers, compression moldings, and strong, oxygen-impermeable films. In food industry, pullulan films can be employed as coating or packaging materials of dried foods, as a binder for tobacco, seed coatings and plant fertilizers, as low viscosity filler in beverages and sauces, as binder and stabilizer in food pastes, to inhibit fungal growth in foods. In pharmaceutical industry, pullulan can be used as a denture adhesive, in the sugar coated pharmaceutical compositions to prevent brownish color change of the composition. Pullulan can also be used in cosmetics, lotions, and shampoos.
• Uses: serum amylase substrate pullulan is used as a binder and film former in a variety of formulation categories (skin, make-up and hair), it is a polysaccharide derived from the Aureobasidium pullulans yeast.Pullulan is a polysaccharide polymer consisting of D-Maltotriose (M159000) units; a trisaccharide resulting from the digestion of Amalose by α-Amalase. Pullulan has been used in a study to assess bone tissue engineering. Addition of pullulan has improved the elongation at break of gelatin based edible film when the amount was 50% (wt. %). Pullulan has been used in a study to assess bone tissue engineering. It has also been used in a study that investigated anti-fog applications.
